Technology NEWS
In April, Gradle announced a new Gradle Enterprise product extension called Predictive Test Selection. Predictive Test Selection reduces testing time up to 70% by identifying, prioritizing, and running only tests that are likely to provide useful feedback during test runs. Predictive Test Selection accomplishes this by applying a machine learning model that uniquely incorporates fine-grained code snapshots, comprehensive test analytics, and flaky test data.
Predictive Test Selection is part of a comprehensive build and test performance acceleration strategy and product suite that includes build caching, test distribution, and performance continuity engineering. It currently supports the Gradle and Apache Maven™ build tools. You can learn more about the solution technology benefits and features here or watch the product introduction webcast led by the project's lead engineer, Eric Wendelin.
Featured Upcoming Event
The Micronaut project is a modern, JVM-based, full-stack framework for building modular, easily testable microservice and serverless applications. Get the Lowdown on how the Micronaut project teams do Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE) with Gradle Enterprise. In this webcast we chat with Cedric Champeau, a Consulting Member of Technical Staff at Oracle Labs, and Sergio del Amo Caballero, Micronaut Product Development Lead at Object Computing Inc., about their experience setting up Gradle Enterprise for 40+ Micronaut projects to improve developer productivity. Cedric and Sergio will share their DPE wins and the productivity insights gained using Gradle Enterprise to improve build times by 50%.
Topics include:
- How Micronaut does builds and tests
- Tooling stack and build/test stats
- Developer productivity wins
- Leveraging Gradle Enterprise to modernize the Micronaut build
- Improving the incrementality of the build
- Insights into what is happening in the build process
- Implementing build best practices
Expert Takes
The hit series is now in its second season, and we are excited about the season premiere, which aired on April 20. In this episode, Android gurus from some of the most famous technology and global business brands weighed in on thought-provoking technology choices they support or interesting practices they recommend to scale their Android developer experience.
